At this time yesterday, the three brothers were still drinking and eating meat together, imagining a bright future after this business was completed. But today, he is the only one left alive, how can he be willing?

As for Brother Yan standing in front of him, his name is Yan Tao, who has always had a very good relationship with Hu Huaihai, the boss of the Blackwater Gang, and I heard that Boss Hu had a life-saving grace for him in the past. Now this person has an identity that people can't ignore, that is, the chief arrester of the Criminal Department.

The head catcher is the so-called criminal police of the current Public Security Bureau. Usually such a person is not only good, but also has a very good brain, and can stand out in this team and become the chief catcher, so it can be seen how powerful both skill and wisdom will be.

It is in this environment where officials are gathered in the Beijing Division and high-ranking officials and nobles emerge one after another, and the identity of the chief arrester of the Criminal Department is also well-known, and it is rarely ignored. It was precisely because of his strength that Wu Yong found Yan Tao after escaping the attack of the wolf fang, wanting to avenge his brothers.

Naturally, this time's opponent is Yang Chendong. Wu Yong knew that it would be unrealistic to move the other party only by relying on his previous favors. So when he asked Yan Tao to come out, he also made another preparation, that is, he was giving a big gift.

Life is in the world, and living is nothing more than a mouth. Under the condition of being able to meet this condition, how to live a better life, have more face, and have more status has become a higher-level pursuit. A person like Yan Tao naturally has face, and even has some power, but because of the importance of his position, he doesn't know how many people usually stare at him, and there are not many ways to live a more luxurious life in money.

Wu Yong saw this and used it as a breakthrough this time. Seeing that Yan Tao did not agree to avenge the eldest brother and third brother, he gritted his teeth and said, "Brother Yan, as long as you can avenge my brother and younger brother, we are willing to give you the benefits that our Blackwater Gang has accumulated over the years." ”

"Huh?" As soon as he heard the accumulated benefits, Yan Tao seemed to be puzzled, but the rapid beating at the corners of his eyes was still observed by the very smart Wu Yong. "That's right, it's the gold and silver we have looted over the years, plus there are 800,000 taels of big roots, as long as we can take revenge, these will be Brother Yan's."

800,000 taels is undoubtedly a huge amount of money. Although Yan Tao, as one of the chief catchers of the Criminal Department, usually has people who respect him, but compared to this number, it is still too much different, and it is difficult for anyone to be tempted.

Wu Yong on the other side had already used a killer weapon, and he naturally wouldn't stop in the future, and continued to work hard and said: "Brother Yan, although the matter between you and our Blackwater Gang is secret, it is true that there are no clues at all, and if you must find it, you can do it." As a loyal and courageous man, he must have known what we had to do before, would he have forgiven him? And with these 800,000 taels of silver, it's different, you don't have to do this head catcher, you can go away at any time, find a place that no one knows and be a rich man, wouldn't it be happy at that time? ”

On the one hand, there is a threat, and on the other hand, it shows the game of steamed buns and sticks. And these are heard in Yan Tao's ears, there is no doubt that there is thunder, even if he wants to deal with the things in front of him peacefully, he is afraid that he can't.

I don't know how long it took, maybe it was very fast, maybe it was a cup of tea, or maybe it was half an hour, and finally I heard his long exhalation. Obviously, he had already made a decision, "This matter is troublesome, you should stay here first, rest assured, this is one of the strongholds under my jurisdiction, and no one will find out here." ”

Yan Tao agreed, and Wu Yong said with a happy face: "Everything that listens to Brother Yan, the younger brother just stays here." ”

Wu Yong has enough confidence that Yan Tao will not do anything to himself? I didn't see the benefits, and I didn't see the other brothers, who knows if I have left something outside, once something happens, I'm afraid his relationship with the Blackwater Gang will be revealed to the world.

Relying on this, Yan Tao naturally didn't dare to use any crooked thoughts. Even if there is, it can only appear when he kills Yang Chendong and gets the silver to die in the world.

Seeing that Wu Yong was so knowledgeable, Yan Tao nodded with satisfaction, "It's just that you have to prepare immediately, and silver is always indispensable..."

"Brother Yan, don't worry, I will arrange for someone to send silver over in the evening, I don't know if 400,000 taels of silver tickets are enough?"

"That's enough." Yan Tao replied happily. In a sense, the 400,000 taels of silver were taken out of the 800,000 taels that he deserved, and according to the rules of the rivers and lakes, half of the deposit must be collected first. In this way, Yan Tao is really ready to help.

After discussing the matter and pacifying Wu Yong, Yan Tao went out of the Chengshun Inn, but he did not go in the direction of the Yamen of the Criminal Department, but walked around the street a few times as if bored, and after making sure that no one saw him, he went towards Yuefu.

Yu Shiyue, the current secretary of the Criminal Department, and has won the trust of the current Emperor Daizong, should have a bright future and unlimited scenery.

It was only because of the conflict with the loyal and courageous Yang Chendong that the grandson Yu Xiong was sentenced to beheading, and the eldest grandson Yu Yuanbi also suffered some time in prison. In addition, Xu Youzhen was arranged to serve as Zuo Shilang in the Criminal Department, which had the intention of replacing him, and the Yu Mansion, which was supposed to be busy, became much quieter.

This kind of quietness is also comparative, after all, it is still the book of the Criminal Department, and there are still many officials who come to visit every day. When Yan Tao came here, he could only enter through the side door with his identity.

The head of the criminal department sounds like a very majestic title, but in Shangshu Mansion, it is just a small official. If it weren't for Yan Tao, who was promoted by Yu Shiyue, and had been to Yuefu before, the concierge here knew him, and I am afraid that it would be even more difficult to enter through the side door.

And even if you enter the Yu Mansion, you may not be able to meet Lord Shangshu. When I came to a slightly remote hall, it took more than an hour to wait. I don't know how many pots of tea I drank after drinking a few pots, and finally the sound of footsteps sounded outside the door.

"The lord is meeting guests in the front hall, please wait for a while." The Yufu steward who was in charge of leading him said with a smile on his face.

"Okay." Yan Tao knew that people were just polite on the surface. Regardless of whether Lord Shangshu is really receiving other people, just like if he wants to meet others with his own status, it is necessary to wait a little longer, this is the place where the majesty can be revealed.

Speaking of which, Yan Tao's skills are very good, even if he has a great reputation in the rivers and lakes, it is not too much to be called a first-class master. It's just that in the environment of emphasizing literature and suppressing martial arts, Mo Shuo is a good head catcher, even a general who kills all sides on the battlefield, I am afraid that he will not have any status in Shangshu Mansion.

This is the rule under the influence of Confucianism. Warriors are not valued and are regarded as simple-minded and well-developed beings, such people have no future to speak of, and even become a major factor in civil strife; Merchants are suppressed because they are seen as profit-seeking, such a person, who has a milk or a mother, has no king, no father, no country and no home in his eyes, and can do anything for the sake of profit, and anyone can sell him.

Having said that, Yan Tao sat in a side hall, and he stayed for more than half an hour. It's just that he is sitting upright, and there is no trace of anxiety on his face, which shows that this is also a person who can achieve great things.

Time passed little by little, and there was a sound of footsteps in the distance,

Hearing the sound of footsteps, Yan Tao hurriedly got up and stood up, looking very respectful, but when the person appeared, he raised his head, and his eyes showed a slight surprise, "Young Master?" ”

"Yes, it's Ben Shao, grandfather knows that you're coming, but there's really something over there that I can't get out of, so he let me come, hehe, Yan Catch the head, sit down." It was Yu Yuanbi who came, the eldest son and grandson that Yu Shiyue admired the most. In order to train him, he is usually assigned to be responsible for receiving guests when it is not an important matter, which is also a means and method of training.

Lord Shangshu didn't appear, and Yu Yuanbi came, which somewhat disappointed Yan Tao. But when he thought that Yu Xiong died at the hands of the loyal and courageous Yang Chendong before, there was a little more hope in his heart, maybe this person wanted revenge more than himself, as a young man with strong blood, he should be better than a scholar like Yu Shiyue.

After making up his mind in his heart, Yan Tao's expression calmed down a lot, first he sat down, and then said unintentionally with the tea, "Actually, there is nothing to do when this head catcher comes here, it is just thinking that Young Master Yu Xiong's first seven fears are coming, and he came to pay tribute." ”

It's good that Yu Xiong's name was suddenly mentioned. His accident can be described as a shame for the entire Yu family, and now someone actually mentions it in person, and it is just the identity of the chief catcher, that is, Yu Yuanbi's expression is changed, and he said with a blue face, "Yan Tao, what do you want to do?" Don't you want to do it? ”

"The younger master is angry, things are not what you think, in fact, this time this head catcher is here for this matter. Rather than always keeping people's mouths shut and not letting people mention it, it is better to take revenge, so that is the real solution, but I just don't know if Young Master Yue is, or if he has the courage to do something? "Yan Tao, as the chief catcher, usually interrogates prisoners, his ability to grasp people's hearts is still very strong, this time he first used the radical method, in order to force Yu Yuanbi to make a choice.

"Revenge? Hehe, you are just a small chief catcher, your official position is measurable, how dare you talk about this matter lightly, could it be that you have some ability? Yu Yuanbi probably guessed Yan Tao's origin, but thinking of Yang Chendong's strength and ability, he still didn't dare to do anything with the other party.
